Jesus tells us, “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” Matthew 18:20

Beginning September 14, our parish and school community is invited to join Hallow’s How to Pray Challenge.

We know “challenge” can sound like one more thing to fit into a busy day. Instead, think of it as an opportunity to make a little time for Jesus: 10–20 minutes to pray, listen, and simply be with Him.

Pray wherever it works for you: in the quiet morning, on your commute, during lunch, on a walk, or at the end of the day. Make the time. Show up. Let Jesus meet you there.

Wherever you are, others at St. Mary’s will be praying right along with you. We may not be in the same room, but we can pray together.

Join us for Mass this weekend at St. Mary’s as we come together to worship, encounter Jesus in the Eucharist, and grow as a community of faith.

Whether you are here every Sunday, have been away for a while, or are thinking about coming for the first time, you are welcome here.

Bring a friend. Bring your family. Come and see.

Mrs. Canfield and Mrs. Rybacki are busy getting ready for a new year of Faith Formation, and registrations are coming in! We cannot wait to welcome our students back for another year.

Why register your child?

We want our children to know that faith is not just something we practice on Sundays. Faith Formation gives them a place to ask questions, learn who Jesus is, understand our Catholic faith, and begin building a relationship with Him that can guide them throughout their lives. As a parish, we want to walk alongside parents and help our children grow into young people who know they are loved by God and know they have a place in His Church.

Everything you need is available on our parish website, including online registration, information for each grade level, and class schedules.

Take a few minutes to register your children today.

Breaking news from the Parish Hall! 😂

The Parish Hall breaker box has officially been relieved of its lighting duties!

If you have ever seen one of us standing in front of it trying to figure out which breaker controlled which row of lights before a video or presentation, you know the struggle was real!

Flip one. Wrong row. Flip another. Still wrong. Maybe this one? 🤷‍♀️

Those days are officially OVER! We now have good old-fashioned LIGHT SWITCHES! And because we are getting fancy around here… they even have dimmers!
